Userspace reminder[edit]

Warning removed

Hi ErnstoAM, I have checked out many of your edits and plenty are done on user pages/user talk pages. We would appreciate it if you did more mainspace edits, no need to hold this against you.

Two Reminders[edit]

Hello, ErnestoAM. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly use the {{aboutfile}} template. What you were doing looks like this, and it is an inconvenience for other users to fix up the template. It is simple to learn how to format it correctly. The pre-loaded syntax is shown below.

{{aboutfile
|1=Subject of the image
|2=Where you found the image
|3=Artist
|4=Describe edits, if any
|5=Other versions (use file link)
}}

Just replace the necessary parts with that corresponding information, and remove the entire line for the parameter(s) you don't use. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. If you continue using {{aboutfile}} incorrectly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

You must remove unused parameters or else the image will still appear in Category:Files with broken Aboutfile template. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 18:53, 23 October 2016 (EDT)

Hello, ErnestoAM. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly categorize the file. It's simple to learn how to do so. Just search for the correct category by starting with the following groups:

Images Audio/video files

When uploading, copy the full title of the category and insert it in square brackets into the summary text box below the {{aboutfile}} template, replacing the {{uncategorized}} template entirely. If you're using the upload function from the text editor, simply add the category link to the description. For example, files related to the game Super Mario World would use:

[[Category:Super Mario World images]]
or
[[Category:Super Mario World media files]]

Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Keep in mind that some files can belong to multiple categories. Do not put images into the media files category, or vice versa. If you continue uploading files without categorizing them correctly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

File:PMCS Shady Sledge Bro.png was missing Category:Paper Mario: Color Splash Images. It was also missing licensing information, in this case it was a sprite ({{game-sprite}}). Below the summary field is a drop-down of licenses in Special:Upload. Use that next time. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 18:53, 23 October 2016 (EDT)
